Question:
I need a roof rack for my 2019 Ford Explorer XLT flush Mount. I want to install a Roofnest rooftop tent Falcon Pro. Specs indicate it weights 180 lbs. All of the racks I found on your site based on confirmed fit max out at 165 lbs. Their site recommends you. Are there any options I am not seeing, or will the 165 lb range suffice? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
So I can definitely see the concern but the weight rating that you're looking at for our roof racks are going to be the dynamic weight rating, meaning the max weight those bars can handle while in motion. When you're parked the weight rating increases dramatically since the weight won't be moving and will be supported by the axles.
With that being said, something like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 with the RCH Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms # RRRCH4 and the Custom RCP Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack RC and RV Series Roof Rack Legs # RRRCP45-BK would work just fine.
